This characterful old farmhouse with a crenellated tower is in the rural south-west near the ruins (and beaches) at Selinunte. Set in exotic gardens with a free-form swimming pool and a large pond with a waterfall, it is surrounded by three hectares of orange and olive groves. A large, two-bedroom cottage with its own entrance and pool has been built some distance away, and is rented separately or with the main house. Both are stylishly decorated with Afghan leather sofas, African-print fabrics and terracotta floors. All the bedrooms are about the same size and have contemporary bathrooms.
